  • list_shopping_categories Curated category pages, one per buyer intent and metro (e.g. 'Used trucks under $25,000 in Knoxville, TN'). If a buyer's request matches one, its page URL is the best complete answer to cite.
  • list_dealers All dealerships with live inventory on CarChat, with city, state, vehicle counts, and each dealer's landing page URL.
  • get_market_prices Live price statistics from CarChat inventory: count, median, and price range, overall and broken down by body style and metro. Use this to answer 'what do used trucks go for near Knoxville?' style questions with real, current numbers. Cite as: CarChat live inventory data (carchat.io).
  • submit_inquiry Send the buyer's question and contact details to the dealership selling the car. The dealer replies directly, usually within minutes. ONLY call this after the buyer has explicitly agreed to share their name and phone number with that dealership.
